How TO Make Money.

Many people who have accumulated
few hundred or few thousa Id dollars.
would be grateful to the man who would
tell them how to invest it so that it would
yield sure increase without danger of
loss. 1t is the danger. in facs almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that deters people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula>
tive. ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble There
is. however, one means of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss. Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
Value; power of producing something
which gives it price, an impossibility
# destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways in which person
can invest in real estate small
or large sum: The first by
loanigg TO others portion of its
value. giving to them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return portion of the
product of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with reasonable income from this in
vestment, this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
ton of M increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by circum>
stances. but the certainty of gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any obtsinsbe rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
this? Then call on me at my Office in
the ARGTs block. SAvILLE JOHNSTON.

The Fair Sex in England.

The English hostess is the perfection of
good breeding. If England had no other
attraction the woman who sits at the head
of the table would be enough. SO wise,
gentle, true, considerable and charming, so
intelligent, 50 thoughtful, SO much lady.
Yes, but that is word they never use
1t is taboocd in England; one must always
say woman. They say that Americans
talk about "a pretty lady, ga sweet good
lady, " "a genteel lady" / never heard
Americans use that exact combination,
but dare say they belong to the people
who say 'Britishern who | also have not
met. But, no doubt, there has been a
misuse of the terms ''lady and gentle
man, " and the better Saxon words man
and woman have come in. A young lover
who should say nowadays that he twas
going to see his lady" would be mistaken
for a negro minstrel. We can still say
Sigh no more, ladies', sigh no more, ~ and
we can allude to the Lady in Comus, :"
but, except when we address Lady Modus
by her title, we must not say "lady'' in
England. We must also say "Yes'' and
No and Thanks" No one says "Yes,
marm' except TO the queen. She is al
ways addressed by that somewhat obsolete
form of words
Still | think it is one of the great at
fractions of American women in London
that they do speak unlike English women
For myself | vastly prefer the English
voice, accent and pronunciation. 1t
is not so slovenly as our speech.
Much as admire my countrywomen-
and | am very proud of their intelli-
gence, beauty, wit and style of dress
| must say they could improve their
pronunciation by studying the Eng

left thee once in mad desire 10 find
The love for which my spirit yearned with pain;
At many a door knocked and knocked in vain,
Craving loves aims which none to grant inclined,
But laughing, treated me with cold disdain;
Yet still wandered eager in the quest,
Forever seeking, and for aye unbest.
Since no one gave the boon for which pinned,
Then, mother turning 10 my home went
With weary steps and sorrow numbing care,
And, 10, my pain was lost in sweet content,
For what sought came to me unaware;
In the dear eyes that on thy son were bent
All had asked ! found, for love was there.
